Bus travel in France & Europe
Does anyone have any good links for bus travel in France and the rest of Europe, like connections from France to Germany or Italy?
The France.com home page has buttons for airlines, rail travel and car rental but nothing for buses. I know they exist; I’ve seen them!
HELP
Holiday accommodation in Nice or somewhere in the Cote d'Azur?
We will be going to southwest France in late September of this year and are having some trouble finding reasonably priced accommodation for our family (2 adults, 2 children under the age of 6).
If you have any advice, recommendations, etc., I would really appreciate your help

Need wedding gown pressed
Bonjour! I have a friend that is getting married in Paris and needs to have her wedding gown pressed when she arrives. She is staying at a private residence on Rue Saint Louis. Does anyone know of a place close that could press her gown?
Also, I would like to send her a basket of champagne, cheese, etc. If someone knows of a place I can order on line, I would appreciate the help.
Thanks for helping to make her day special.
Merci,
Cindy
Monaco's Prince Rainier dies
He died of heart, lung and kidney failure at 6.35 a.m. local time (12.35 a.m. ET) Wednesday, at the hospital where he has been treated for several weeks, a Royal Palace official said.
“This is a time for grief, and all of us here feel orphans as he has molded the principality of Monaco with his outstanding personality during this 56 years of his rein,” the spokesman said in a recorded statement.
Prince Rainier was one of the longest serving monarchs in the world, of one of the smallest countries in the world.
New digs for 'Mona Lisa'
Leonardo Da Vinci’s painting of the mysterious lady with the mysterious smile was moved Monday to the Salle des Etats room, where lighting and climate control were improved in the euro 4.8 million (US$6.1 million) four-year makeover designed by Peruvian architect Lorenzo Piqueras.
“It’s completely new, completely different,” said Louvre spokeswoman Veronique Petitjean.
The setting provides more space for the painting than did the much smaller Salle Rosa down the hall, where it was before the move.
